配信ライブ
Meaning: An online streaming concert; a live performance broadcast over the internet that viewers can watch from home.
配信ライブ became a fixture of Japanese entertainment during the COVID-19 pandemic when in-person concerts were impossible. What started as an emergency measure has evolved into a permanent format, with many artists offering paid streaming alongside physical attendance. Benefits include accessibility for fans in rural areas or overseas, and some 配信ライブ offer exclusive camera angles or content. The format has its own etiquette, like commenting in real-time.
